| Above are just a few commercial client pieces including Illustration for the CFL, Glade, Joe Boxer and Bacardi. |
I have proudly provided
original custom cartoon illustration, character design and visual development services for a diverse range of industries and businesses, including marketing, advertising, children's publishing, 2D design for animation, game development and comics/graphic novels.
When it comes to working with my clients, I listen
carefully and work hard to meet their specific needs
in an innovative and attention grabbing way that is bold and unique.

WHAT I DO.
My work focus is in the following area.
- Visual
development: Character design, Prop design and Environment (location/set) design. I also work in children's illustration, comics and game art.
Visual development is a part of everything we do as artists. A storybook or board game needs look development, CHR/PRP design, as do video games, animated shows, comic books and graphic novels. It ALL requires good Vis-dev!!
WHAT I DON'T DO.
- Any kind of work on spec
basis. This is what I do for a living.
- I will design for animation but do not offer animation as a service.
- I don't do porn. Not a prude. Just not my jam - Please don't ask.
